"Unbelievable comment here in Dallas from a member of SWA's Go-team - 'We had no fatalities on the plane, so that keeps our record intact'."
I think that SWA attitude, so arrogantly prevalent through the years, is about to be excised so very painfully by the FAA and the media. The darlings are about to become pariahs, at least for the short term.
This should be an interesting investigation. I would not want to be part of the cockpit crew for this one. My guess is that the FAA will manage to pin a large portion of the blame on the pilots. There is never flown the "perfect" approach and landing, but the SWA pilots on this flight will now have to account for their lack of perfection. (Being only human is not an acceptable answer, BTW.)
